The
agenda
is
approved.
We
move
on
to
our
first
public
comment
of
this
meeting
public
comments
for
items
on
the
agenda.
Is
there
anyone
from
the
public
wishing
to
comment
at
this
time?
Public
comment
is
closed.
We
move
to
Communications.
We
have
one
item
under
Communications.
The
intake
disposition
report
from
September
2022
I
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
Nelson
to
accept
the
communications
and
support
from
commissioner
mcgilvery.
All
in
favor
say.
B
G
So
we
are
a
free
healthcare
clinic
for
individuals,
18
years
of
age
and
older,
who
are
uninsured,
but
we
are
also
a
free
healthcare
clinic
for
let's
say
senior
citizens
who
may
have
health
insurance
for
their
hospital
and
doctor,
but
they
they
have
nothing
for
dental
or
Eye
Care.
So,
if
you
are
not
insured
for
the
service
we
provide,
we
can
still
provide
that
service
for
you.
G
G
So
that's
we
don't
provide
services
to
children
that
may
be
down
the
road
at
some
point,
but
right
now,
that's
not
where
we're
at
so
to
give
just
a
little
background
on
our
organization.
Nation
back
in
1997,
a
homeless
shelter
here
in
in
Pontiac,
had
sent
out
hundreds
of
letters
requesting
Physicians
come
in
and
volunteer
at
their
at
their
Center
to
take
care
of
the
guests
that
they
they
were
hosting
overnight.
G
The
only
person
who
responded
was
Dr,
Gary
Bernstein,
and
so
he
started
to
do
that
at
that
time
until
2003
when
he
became
semi-retired
and
he
thought
well,
I'm
going
to
apply
for
501c3
designation
start
a
free
clinic
and
within
a
year's
time.
He
he
did
get
all
of
the
paperwork
in
in
place,
but
then
he
became
ill
and
passed
away
and
then
the
Kensington
community
church
approached
his
widow
and
his
two
adult
children
and
asked
if
she
would
continue
to
move
forward
with
his
his
vision
at
which
they
said.
G
Yes,
they
would,
and
so
the
Kensington
Community
Church
was
very
helpful
to
them
and
they
refurbished
an
old
building
in
the
loop.
It
was
a
2,
000
square
foot
building
and
the
then
the
Gary
Bernstein
Clinic
was
born,
and
at
that
time
it
was
just
for
people
who
are
were
at
the
shelter
and
as
time
passed,
it
was
for
everyone
here
in
Oakland,
County
or
no
Pontiac,
initially,
because
other
individuals
in
Pontiac
needed
services
and
then
after
that
and
as
they
continued
to
grow
in
2015
2013.
G
Actually
we
received
money
to
purchase
the
old
Michigan
ball,
bearing
Factory
on
Woodward
Avenue.
It
was
abandoned
at
that
point
and
more
money
was
raised.
It
was
completely
remodeled,
and
so
now
that's
where
we
are
right
on
Woodward
Avenue,
just
south
of
McLaren
Hospital
and
north
of
St
Joe's,
and
so
we
have
a
7
000
square
foot
facility
and
we
provide
what
I
consider
wrap
around
services
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
that
you
come
in
for
your
basic
medical
care.
G
But
if
you
in
the
course
of
having
your
physical
realize
that
you
need
a
heart
specialist,
we
have
a
heart
specialist.
That's
going
to
see
you
at
your
next
visit.
If
you
need
a
podiatrist,
the
gynecologist,
ear,
nose
and
throat
rheumatologists,
we
have
15
Specialties
under
our
roof,
so
we're
able
to
not
have
to
refer
those
individuals
out
because
then
you're
kind
of
in
the
same
situation
you
were
before
most
Specialists
are
not
going
to
see
you
for
free,
but
we
have
those
people
under
our
roof.
G
Those
positions,
and
we
have
150
professionals
who
are
completely
volunteers,
who
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
the
work
that
we
do
without
that
and
there's
10
paid
staff.
So
all
of
our
resources
really
are
a
result
of
people
that
are
are
working
from
their
heart.
Many
of
them
are
retired,
but
they
they
like
being
out
of
that
system,
and
now
they
can
spend
as
much
time
as
they
want
with
the
patient.
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
you
have
had
this
experience,
but
I
know
when
I
go
to
my
own
doctor.
G
You
know
she's,
like
okay,
let's
get
to
your
questions
because
she's
got
to
move
on
to
the
next
next
room,
so
so
we
have
in
addition
to
the
the
medical
side
of
it.
G
So
your
self-preservation
presentation-
you
are
just
sense
of
feeling
good
about
yourself-
is
wrapped
up
in
that,
and
so
is
your
health,
because
then
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
eat
well
and
there's
other
issues
that
happen
when
you
have
gum
disease
and
so
forth.
So
we're
able
to
do
that.
We
have
an
we
do
our
own
lab
and
well.
We
send
it
out,
but
we
draw
at
our
clinics.
So
again
the
patient
doesn't
have
to
leave
the
facility
for
anything
we're
able
to
do
eye
exams
and
also
provide
eyeglasses.
G
So
that's
another
really
important
thing.
I'm
really
excited
about,
because
we
just
got
that
about
six
months
ago,
ability
to
do
that
and
we
have.
Oh,
we
have
a
special
veteran
program
on
the
dental
side.
We
are
partnering
with
the
University
of
Michigan,
so
anyone
who's
a
veteran
and
needs
dental
care,
because
I
always
I
thought
that
that
was
just
something
you
would
get
as
a
veteran
and
I
found
out
that
there's
a
lot
of
space
veterans
don't
get
in
terms
of
health,
insurance
and
coverage.
G
G
So
those
that's
the
population
that
we're
focusing
on
now,
but
we
would
like
to
expand
that
out
to
the
entire
Community.
We
have
also
a
vaccination
program
so
when
a
patient
comes
in,
if
they
need
their
Tdap,
their
shingles,
their
flu
shots,
we
have
that
available
and
then
we
also
have
a
Cova
vaccination
program
and
that
that
program
will
go
out
to
any
group
in
the
community,
whether
it
be
a
church,
a
rotary
club,
someone
in
their
own
business,
who
would
like
to
have
us
come
out
and
do
vaccinations.
G
We
in
boosters
we
can
go
out
there
and
we
also
partner
with
Fern
care
and
and
head
out
to
his
clinic
and
do
Nations
for
his
patients
as
well.
So
I
gave
you
our
reports
that
you
also
have
some
idea
of
the
demographics
and
where,
where
our
funding
comes
from,
and
if
anybody
has
any
questions
now
or
after
Dan's
done
I'm
pleased
that
yes,.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
question.
So,
on
the
back
of
the
brochures,
there's
a
QR
code,
people
can
can
download
that
you
can
do
that
from
your
computer
and
then
you
can
print
out
the
application.
You
can
stop
in
and
get
the
application.
You
can
fill
it
out
online,
but
you
still
need
to
print
it
out
and
I
know
that
some
many
of
our
partner
organizations
will
help
with
that
process
when
it's
needed.
So
we
are
we.
We
are
Income
qualified
and
we
are
at
250
percent
of
the
poverty
guidelines.
G
G
H
And
I
have
this
amazing
clinic
in
my
district,
so
I
will
want
I
do
want
to
share
with
my
colleagues.
Yes,
their
work
is
proven
and
actually
I
see
a
couple
faces
on
here
that
I
know
people
that
y'all
have
given
services
to
so
even
when
you
guys
started
I
actually
visited
you
more
often
when
I
was
working
for
state
representative,
grandma
steel,
but
I've
always
had
you
all
in
my
Rolodex
and
I
do
share
your
information
and
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
city
of
Honey
truly
appreciates
you
all.
G
C
I
G
7
000
square
feet
of
state
of
the
art,
equipment
and
just
wonderful
staff
that
will
make
you
will
uplift
you
there.
You
don't
feel
like
you're
you're,
getting
a
handout
or
that
you
have
to
be
ashamed,
that
you
don't
have
insurance,
because
it
isn't
a
person's
personal
fault
that
they
don't
have
it.
So
we
have
very
dignified,
respectful
services
that
we
provide
and
a
very
positive
uplifting
staff.
H
G
G
G
Am
the
community
outreach
director
of
community
right
just
Dr,
Justin
Brooks
is
our
CEO
and
he
has
always
spread
very
thin,
so
yeah
he
does
a
lot,
including
changing
floors
and
creating
new
operatories
when
needed.
I
mean
he
rolls
up
his
sleeves
and
he
just
gets
right
in
there
and
works
alongside
other
people.
So.
B
B
B
All
right,
so
we
have
the
information
on
file.
Thank
you
and
in
a
similar
vein,
we
have
Dan
Martin
here
from
Fern
care,
free
clinic
to
tell
us
about
your
services.
Sure.
J
So,
thank
you
for
having
me
as
well.
Fern
care
free
clinic.
Is
a
community
founded
a
medical
clinic
located
in
Ferndale,
but
to
be
honest
with
you,
less
than
five
percent
of
our
patients
come
from
Ferndale.
We
pull
and
there's
a
slide
in
here
that
you've
got
in
front
of
you.
You
know
pretty
heavily
from
Oakland
Macomb
and
Wayne
Counties
collectively,
so
we
were
started
by
a
group
of
Citizen
Advocates
who
were
sitting
around
one
day
saying.
What
are
we
going
to
do
about
health
care?
J
I
got
involved
in
the
social
activist
group
called
citizens
for
fear
Ferndale
who
helped
do
the
founding
5013c
organizations
and
we've
been
seeing
patients
since
2008.
we've
been
in
three
locations.
The
first
location
is
kind
of
a
neat
story.
Is
the
community
center
in
Ferndale?
They
would
come
every
Saturday
and
bring
all
of
their
equipment
and
the
prescriptions
and
the
medical
stuff
and
unload
and
have
clinic
on
Saturdays
and
then
at
the
conclusion
of
it.
J
They'd
load
it
all
back
up
and
store
it
all
off
site
until
the
next
Saturday
clinic
and
from
there
they
moved
into
a
brick
and
mortar
facility
which
ended
up
getting
redeveloped.
So
now
we're
at
the
corner
of
Hilton
in
East
Nine
Mile
in
that
strip,
mall
there
right
at
the
corner,
so
we
we
are
small
But
Mighty.
We
currently
have
four
part-time
employees
and
79
volunteers.
J
J
We
see
every
day,
folks
that
have
been
turned
away
from
the
Health
Care
system
and
get
treated
honestly
like
second-class
citizens,
because
they
don't
have
insurance
and
they
don't
know
what
to
do,
and
they
don't
know
how
to
navigate
the
Health
Care
system,
and
they
don't
know
where
to
go
so
we're
part
of
that
social
safety,
not
like
the
Bernstein
Clinic,
to
help
people
kind
of
attach
in
and
find
those
services
and
get
care.
J
So
what
we
offer
is
we'd
offer
primary
care.
We
do
generic
and
over-the-counter
medications,
we
do
have
a
pharmacy
in
our
Clinic
as
well
as
lab
testing.
We
can
process
some
Labs
in-house
and
some
we
do
send
out
off
site
we've
started
during
covid.
We
had
to
get
Innovative
because
it
was
coveted,
so
we
started
case
management
and
we
started
to
see
more
patients
with
chronic
conditions
around
diabetes
and
hypertension.
So
we
very
much
see
our
role
as
walking
with
these
patients
through
those
diseases.
J
J
Do
they
understand
the
need
for
tracking
to
offer
dietary
assistance,
nutritional
counseling
as
well,
so
we're
in
touch
with
them
several
times
a
month
to
help
coach
them
through
those
conditions,
and
we
do
that
for
hypertensives
as
well,
and
we've
been
doing
that
for
about
a
year
now
and
have
seen
some
real,
really
pretty
promising
results
from
it.
We
do
a
lot
of
counseling
and
referrals.
We
take
a
lot
of
calls
a
year
connecting
people
to
housing,
resources,
transportation,
resources,
just
helping
them
fill
in
the
gap.
J
We
do
Telehealth
and
we
just
started
offering
physical
therapy
as
well
for
patients,
we
don't
have
a
gym
set
up,
but
you
know
they
give
them
at
home
exercises
they
meet
with
them
individually,
set
them
on
a
path
where
we
can
provide
equipment.
We
will
and
I
should
add.
We
do
all
of
this
at
Absolute
no
cost
to
our
patients.
We
only
have
two
criteria
to
be
seen
at
Fern
care,
that
is,
that
you're
over
the
age
of
19
and
that
you
don't
have
insurance
you.
Don't
income
qualify!
Anybody.
J
We
don't
ask
any
other
questions,
except
for
research
and
social
determinant
information
for
example,
but
we
don't
that's.
Those
are
the
only
requirements
you
need
to
to
be
seen
at
Fern
care
and
how
we
accomplish.
This
is
not
only
through
funding
through
grants
and
donations
and,
like
I,
said
we're
very
Community
Based,
so
we
still
have
a
rummage
sale
every
year
that
gets
the
word
out.
It
helps
raise
money
and
lets
people
connect,
but
we
value
our
Community
Partnerships.
J
So
much
you
know,
we
we
work
with
World
medical
relief,
we
take
in
durable
medical
equipment,
Walkers
wheelchairs,
canes
and
we'll
help
get
them
to
our
patients,
but
whatever
is
not
being
used.
We
send
a
world
medical
relief
and
other
agencies
as
well.
We
partner
with
the
police
department
on
things
like
drug
takebacks
and
Emergency
Services,
like
Community
emergency
response.
J
We
donate
to
the
Detroit
and
diaper
Bank,
as
well
as
offering
Mental
Health
Care
through
Southfield
Mental
Health
Associates.
If
we
refer
the
patients,
they
do
the
counseling
for
our
patients
at
no
cost
or
maybe
ten
dollars
a
visit,
something
very,
very
minimal
and
we
love
our
other
community
safety
net
clinics
Bernstein
comes
in
a
couple
times
a
month
and
offers
covid
vaccinations,
and
we're
really
grateful
for
that.
Because
candidly,
we
don't
have
the
space
to
store
our
coveted
vaccinations
and
we
also
work
with
Court
Town
Health.
J
They
we
just
have
done
a
several
series
of
clinics
for
monkeypox
vaccinations
as
well
as
few
other
things
which
Oakland
County
participated
in
that
as
well.
We
do
flu
shots,
of
course,
and
and
we
can
store
those
inside.
So
we
also
do
an
amount
of
insurance
counseling.
If
somebody
says
I
need
insurance,
but
I
don't
know
if
I
qualify.
J
We
have
a
group
of
volunteers
that
sits
down
and
we've
last
year
have
helped
over
200
people
find
insurance
on
the
exchange
or
through
Medicaid
as
well,
and
those
are
all
volunteers
and
then
others
support
safety
net
Services
as
well.
You
know
if
we
get
a
call
I
always
say
our
office
managers
will
dig
in
and
help
them
find.
We
don't
say
no
one
leaves
our
Clinic
with
nothing
will
help
them
with
whatever
they
need
and
have
that
that
flexibility
to
do
that
I
did
include
a
slide
on
what
the
demographics
look
like.
J
It
surprises
some
folks
that
the
far
majority
of
our
patients
are
employed
but
they're
either
employed
part-time
or
not
making
enough
to
afford
an
exchange
plan.
They
make
too
much
for
Medicaid.
They
make
enough
to
get
an
exchange
plan,
but
can't
afford
the
four
thousand
dollar
deductible,
for
example,
or
can't
even
afford
it
on
The
Exchange
Market
as
well,
but
most
of
our
folks
are
working
and,
like
I
said,
46
percent
comes
out
of
Oakland
30
weighing
and
22
percent
in
Macomb
counties
and
some
other
stats
that
are
just
interesting.
J
You
know
when
it
comes
to
social
referrals,
referrals
to
other
agencies.
We
take
about
3
000
calls
a
year
and,
to
be
honest
with
you
most
of
those
is
an
82
year
old
lady
God
bless
her
sitting
in
the
front
office.
That's
there
every
day,
taking
calls
and
helping
direct
folks.
She
just
got
a
senior
citizen
of
the
year
for
Ferndale
honestly
they're,
going
to
honor
her
this
week
at
a
community
event,
she's
awesome
at
1300
walking
inquiries
just
because
we're
open
and
people
know
know
that
we're
there.
J
We
do
over
3
000
prescriptions,
I've
mentioned
finding
folks
insurance.
We
do
over
a
thousand
lab
tests
and
the
other
thing
we
really
volunteer
or
value
our
volunteers.
Obviously
we
couldn't
do
what
we
do
and
one
of
the
first
things
we
tell
Folks
at
orientation
is
take
as
much
time
with
the
patients
as
you
want.
This
is
not
a
time
test,
we
book,
so
our
doctors
and
our
nurses
can
go
and
practice
medicine
why
they
got
into
practicing
medicine
to
spend
time
with
the
patient
and
for
all
of
the
Care.
J
We
spend
about
28
minutes
between
the
nurses
and
the
counselors
and
the
and
the
doctors
as
well.
So
the
really
robust
experience
and
all
that
equates
into
over
3
000
volunteer
hours,
which
I
think
is
absolutely
incredible,
and
then
the
last
page
are
our
organizations
again
that
we
belong
to
our
Partnerships
are
critical.
Besides
the
local
chambers
that
we
get
a
lot
of
resources
and
connections
with
we
do
belong
to
the
National
Association
of
free
clinics
in
the
free
clinics
of
Michigan.
J
In
fact,
our
former
our
founder
and
former
executive
director
is
president
of
that
com.
Right
now
and
I
know,
Bernstein
is
very
involved
in
those
organizations
as
well,
but
we
we
value
again
those
relationships
very
much.
So
all
that's
great.
The
volunteering's
super
important.
The
building
of
community
is
really
really
heartwarming,
but
there's
economic
value
in
what
we
do
as
well.
We
know
for
the
primary
care
experience,
there's
a
two
and
a
half
to
one
Roi
for
the
patients
that
come
in
and
what
the
Health
Care
System
would
experience.
J
Had
they
gone
for
services
in
as
an
uninsured
patient
as
well.
We
know
that
we
are
deferring
about
not
about
a
million
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
emergency
room
care
a
year
by
having
you
know
the
patient
volume
that
we
do
in
the
care
that
we
do,
there's
a
on
the
pharmacy
side
alone.
J
You
know,
there's
seventy
two
thousand
dollar
or
sorry,
five
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
health
care
savings
going
through
the
donated
medications
that
we
use
and
then
the
medications
we
get
at
rate
had
the
patients
had
to
go
and
pay
out
of
pocket
without
insurance.
But,
let's
be
completely
honest,
they
probably
would
go
without
in
many
cases.
J
So
it's
it's
not
only
good
work
for
the
community
and
to
keep
our
community
healthier.
There's
a
real
Roi
on
this
investment
too.
For
these
free
clinics
that
are
helping
bring
people,
you
know
into
better
health
care
where
they
would
either
get
substandard
or
pay
an
enormous
amount
of
money
and
rack
up
debt
or
just
not
get
care
at
all,
and
so
these
are
amazing
alternatives
for
for
these
patients
and
our
volunteers,
I
have
to
say
much
like
Bernstein
are
really
it's
a
it's
hard
heartwarming
work.
J
They
love
the
experience
and
we
take
safety
incredibly
seriously.
The
the
volunteer
clinical
staff
told
us
many
times
that
they
feel
safer
at
Fern
care
than
they
do
with
their
day,
jobs
at
the
hospital
or
in
offices,
because
we
were
so
prestigious
about
our
care
and
our
safety
during
during
covet
and
I
would
remiss
without
thanking
all
of
you
for
helping
keeping
us
going
during
the
financial
assistance
early
on
that
the
County
Commission
offered
that
we
applied
for
and
benefited
from
was
a
godsend
to
US.
J
C
J
You
just
give
us
a
call,
and
we
have
staff
during
the
during
the
week
between
9,
A.M
and
2
p.m,
or
you
can
go
online
and
make
an
appointment
online
if
you'd
like.
We
do
use
electronic
medical
records
and
we
do
have
a
patient
portal,
so
people
can
get
their
lab
results
online.
J
They
can
make
appointments
online
and
then
we
try
to
reach
out
to
patients
before
their
first
visit,
to
get
as
much
as
the
registration
done
so
they're
not
tied
up
in
Waiting
rooms
and
stuff,
while
we're
while
we're
waiting,
but
sometimes
we
don't
connect-
and
we
just
do
it
while
they're
there
at
the
first
visit,
but
right
now
we're
booked
out
about
six
weeks,
but
that
fluctuates
based
on
the
time
of
year
and
what
we're
offering
we
do
offer
other
specialty
clinics.
J
K
J
Dental
and
that's
where
we
rely
on
our
partner
clinics,
so
we
don't
have
the
space
or
capacity
to
do
dental
or
Vision.
Right
now
we
do
have
a
specialty
Network
we
refer
to
in
our
volunteer
base.
We
do
have
a
cardiologist
that
sees
patients.
We
do
have
some
Specialties
covered,
but
we
refer
on
on
fellow
clinics
or
other
people.
We
have
arrangements
for
for
a
referral,
Clinic
and
I
think
the
volunteer
base
you
know
is
starting
to
come
back
more
from
from
covid.
J
We
keep
to
six
Primary
Care
Clinic
sessions
a
month,
but
we
want
to
get
to
eight
and
I
think
that's
largely
dependent
on
being
able
to
Garner
the
not
as
much
the
the
registration
folks,
but
really
the
MDS
and
dos,
and
some
of
whom
are
starting
to
come
back
now,
they're
feeling
more
comfortable,
they're,
retired
and
didn't
want
to
do
it
during
covet,
but
so
I
suspect
within
the
next
12
months,
we'll
be
back
to
eight
they're.
Not
back.
We've
never
had
that
many
we'll
be
at
eight
primary
care
clinics
a
month.
G
I
think
for
us,
it's
really
volunteers,
because
we
could
expand
our
services
further
if
we
had
more
volunteers.
So
that's
something
that
is
continuously
being
worked
on
and
right
now
we're
really
looking
to
find
a
nutritionist,
because
we
did
have
one
and
we
lost
that
person
through
covet
and
that's
a
really
important
part
of
people
to
do
so.
G
Many
of
the
people
that
we
have
are
diabetics
and
that
was
very
Central,
to
kind
of
social
determinants
of
health
and
getting
everybody
on
board,
not
just
with
your
health
on
one
level,
but
to
cover
all
of
it
across
all
areas.
And
so
that's
that's
I.
Think
our
challenge
right
now
is
more
volunteers,
so
that
we
can
provide
the
services
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
because
our
numbers
have
been
increasing.
G
So
that's
where
we're
at
right
now,
but
we're
working
hard
to
make
sure
that
happens
and
I
would
I
would
love
to
see,
because
we
do
have
a
very
small
social
group
and
we're
focusing
on
social
determinants
of
Health
I
would
love
to
see
us
have
more
support
in
that
area
and
I
know
that
our
fund
developer,
which
we've
had
now
for
about
a
year,
is
working
on
that
as
well.
So
I
think
those
are
hurdles
that
we'll
be
able
to
jump.
It's
just
a
matter
of
time.
G
J
B
J
B
G
B
C
B
Right
we
that
motion
is
carried.
We
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda.
The
first
item
is
from
the
prosecuting
attorney's
office.
It's
a
grant
acceptance
from
the
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services
for
the
fiscal
year
2023
victim
rights,
Grant,
a
motion
by
commissioner
McGillivray
support
from
commissioner
Nelson,
and
we
had
Mary
Larkin
here
to
address
this
item.
Welcome.
L
L
So
these
positions
satisfy
the
requirement
that
we
are
mandated
by
the
prime
victim
Rights
Act
to
provide
victims
who
request
notification
about
the
status
of
their
case.
We
also
provide
personal
advocacy
where
our
Advocates
accompany
victims
to
court
for
emotional
support
and
they
provide
referrals
for
services
for
them.
L
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
This
is
the
31st
year
of
this
Grant,
and
so
we're
really
pleased
to
be
able
to
continue
with
these
Services
they're.
Not
only
are
they
mandated
mandated
by
law
but
they're,
absolutely
critical
to
keeping
victims
informed
and
involved
in
the
case
as
it's
going
forward.
Thank
you.
L
We
assign
victim
Advocates
to
accompany
victims
in
person,
especially
in
other
cases
that
are
more
complicated
and
more
emotionally
charged,
such
as
sexual
assault
cases,
cases
involving
child
Witnesses
any
case
that
results
in
the
death
of
a
victim.
We
especially
assign
a
victim
Advocate
to
accompany
those
family
members,
so
they're
fully
aware
of
the
legal
proceedings
and-
and
we
help
out
in
many
ways
we
also
are
happy
to
have
our
three
canine
Advocates.
K
I
assume
the
resolution
that
there
was
a
like
a
reduction
in
funding,
so
there's
one
staff
position
that
will
no
longer
be
reimbursed
through
the
grant.
L
That's
correct
with
the
increase
in
I
think
it
was
the
five
percent
cost
of
living
increase.
The
grant
award
that
we
were
provided
didn't
cover
all
of
the
positions
that
it
had
in
the
past,
and
so
our
general
fund
will
be
providing.
K
A
M
L
L
Terrorism,
victims
in
that
case,
and
they
they
are
the
student
body
who
are
enrolled
on
that
date
of
November
30th
2021,
as
well
as
the
staff
and
faculty
members.
So
this
grant
has
provided
funding
for
one
victim,
Advocate,
full-time
and
one
full-time
office
clerk
position,
and
that
allows
us
to
be
able
to
provide
the
services
that
we
need
for
this
extra
volume.
L
We
have
been
busy
on
that
case,
as
you
can
welcome.
Well
imagine
it's
involving
two
separate
cases,
one
against
the
Oxford
High
School
shooter
himself,
and
then
also
his
parents
are
charged
separately
in
a
court
case
with
involuntary
manslaughter.
So
this
grant
allows
us
to
keep
all
of
these
victims
updated
on
the
status
of
the
case.
L
B
News
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Hi.
Our
next
item
is
from
the
Sheriff's
Office
a
grant
acceptance
from
the
Michigan
State
Police
for
the
fiscal
year.
2023
Oakland
County
Narcotics
enforcement
team
burn
grant
program.
I
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
Hoffman
support
from
commissioner
Powell
and
we
have
our
under
sheriff
and
Guy
appear
to
adjust
this
item
good
morning.
N
Good
morning,
so
this
is
our
annual
narcotics
Grant.
It's
a
joint
effort
between
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
the
prosecuting
attorney's
office.
This
the
total
program
amount
is
521
648.
It
continues
four
positions,
two
full-time
sergeants
in
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
one
part-time
non-eligible
office,
support,
Clerk
and
then
one
full-time
principal
attorney
in
the
prosecuting
attorney's
office.
A
D
B
N
So
this
one
we
have
really
good
news.
This
is
our
Angel
secondary
Road
Patrol
acceptance
and
we're
getting
almost
1.2
million
dollars.
I
want
to
thank
the
board
staff.
This
is
the
one
where
we,
our
initial
allocation,
wasn't
enough
to
continue
all
of
our
positions,
so
we
were
going
to
have
to
delete
positions,
but
then
the
state
came
through
with
a
legislative
change.
So
hopefully
this
grant
is
fixed
permanently
going
forward
and
we
will
have
enough
money
to
continue
this.
N
We
won't
have
to
do
the
delete
and
create
roller
coaster
that
we've
been
on
the
last
several
years,
so
this
actually
continues
seven
positions,
a
full-time
sergeant
and
six
deputies
and
then
creates
an
additional
Deputy.
It
also
allows
for
vehicle
expense
and
some
equipment
purchases.
Thank
you
so,
but
anyway,
so
the
board
staff.
We
got
the
additional
allocation
in
between.
We
submitted
the
original
award
and
then
have
scrambled
in
the
last
week
or
so
to
get
it.
N
B
N
Okay,
this
is
our
annual
bulletproof
vest
Grant,
so
we're
getting
a
little
under
23
000
this
year,
which
will
supply
almost
45
vests
my
rest
cost
505
each
and
we're
on
a
five-year
replacement
schedule.
We
applied
for
a
little
over
a
hundred
and
eleven
thousand,
and
then
it
resulted
in
this
award.
This
one
has
been
up
and
down
over
the
years,
we've
gotten
as
little
as
zero.
One
year
we
got
about
134
dollars,
so
22
000
is
a
pretty
good
award
in
our
eyes.
N
B
N
Ready,
okay,
so
this
is
our
annual
sieber
Grant
acceptance
we're
getting
a
little
over
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
continue
three
forensic
lab
analyst
positions
to
continue
working
on
our
DNA
backlogs.
N
N
So
even
though
we've
had
an
overall
increase
in
Staffing
over
the
past
three
years,
the
DNA
test
requests
have
almost
doubled,
so
I
think
they're
they're,
making
progress
but
I
think
the
The
Motto.
Since
we
started
this
has
been.
If
you
build
it,
they
will
come
and
they're
here.
7.
E
N
B
K
I
have
a
couple
questions,
so
the
in
the
schedule
a
it
says
that
this
will
be
a
hundred
and
nine
thousand
dollars
for
a
new
Deputy
with
the
phone
in
the
car.
But
don't
we
generally
when
we
make
a
new
you
know
just
from
having
work
together,
making
a
new
position
like
this.
Isn't
it
like
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars?
Well.
N
This
is
a
new.
Are
we
adding
a
patrol
investigator
there.
N
L
J
N
This
one
is
a
deputy
too,
but
we're
adding
a
vehicle,
because
what
we
do
with
the
regular
deputies
is
a
Formula
so
for
every
three,
usually
so
every
three
share
a
car,
and
so
when
you
get
to
a
certain
number,
when
you
add
go
over
that
number,
then
you
have
to
add
a
new
car.
So,
okay.
N
I
would
have
to
pull
up
the
rates,
but
109
is
low.
I'll
have
to
tell
because
we
have
a
whole
chart
that
you
guys
approved
back
last
December,
so
it's
based
on
that
rate.
So
it
would
be
the
2023
rate
for
a
deputy
two
okay
I
can
send
it
to
you
and
I'll.
Send
it
to
you
in
an
email.
I,
don't
have
it
here,
but
I'll
send
it
to
you.
I
have
the
snip.
K
N
K
N
N
K
B
I
K
N
I,
can
we
can
figure
this
I
can
send
you
an
email.
That's.
N
K
N
N
B
N
B
N
D
O
I,
don't
I
think
the
sergeant
this
position
is
the
SRO
position
from
so
this
Sergeant's
position,
specifically
for
the
school
resource
officers.
They
have
four
there
now,
plus
two
from
Rochester
City
that
we
have
deputized
to
be
in
our
school,
so
we
do
kind
of
between
us
and
the
city.
There's
a
ratio
we
use
for
supervision,
okay
around
six
to
one
so.
N
Okay,
so
this
is
the
I
think
our
third
year,
so
an
annual
summer
agreement
with
Somerset,
where
they've
asked
us
to
provide
mounted
deputy
and
Deputy
Services
throughout
the
holiday
season.
So
we
have
agreed
to
do
this
as
staff
is
available
and
we'll
charge
them
our
overtime.
Our
contracted
overtime
rates.
B
B
D
N
On
you
know,
based
on
based
on
the
weather,
if
it's
severe
weather
conditions,
so
basically
so
safety
for
the
horses
and
the
deputies
it
so
it's
it's
based
on
their
availability
and
then
the
weather.
So
if,
if
it's
a
day
like
today,
then
it
would
be
fine.
If
it's.
H
K
N
Deputies
are
part-time,
yeah,
sure,
Mountain
deputies
are
part-time
positions
and.
K
N
K
N
They
don't
get,
they
don't
yeah.
No,
the
mall
pays
the
contractor
rate.
The
contractor
rate
has
everything
from
salary
fringes:
Vehicles
yeah
maintenance.
All
of
that
stuff
is
built
in
so
they,
the
the
rate
that
the
mall
is
paying
is
higher
than
the
actual
hourly
rate
that
the
deputy
is
getting
paid
because
we're
trying
to
recoup
all
of
our
costs.
Gotcha.
E
N
E
O
B
N
B
All
right,
our
next
item
is
from
Emergency
Management
and
Homeland
Security
the
grant
acceptance
from
the
Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency
for
the
fiscal
year,
2021
building
resilient
infrastructure
and
communities
grant
program.
We've
been
motioned
by
commissioner
Nelson
support
from
commissioner
Hoffman,
and
we
have
Tom
Hardesty
to
speak
to
this.
Q
Good
morning
Commissioners,
we
appreciate
your
time
today
if
you'll
recall.
Last
year,
the
board
approved
a
feasibility
study
for
a
sheriff's
Training
Center,
a
storage
facility
and
a
combined
EOC
911
Center.
So
at
that
time
we
had
discussed
seeking
whatever
grants
might
be
available,
so
our
office
applied
for
a
building
resilient
infrastructures,
Grant,
which
would
support
the
EOC
911
Center.
The
recommendations
from
FEMA
and
and
Architects
would
be
that
it
would
be
a
hardened
facility,
meaning
it
could
withstand
weather.
Q
So
with
that,
this
grant
we
applied
to
FEMA
and
they
would
pay
a
portion
of
the
this
feasibility
study,
which
the
first
part
of
the
feasibility
study
is
a
pre-design
and
schematic
design,
so
that
portion
that
relates
to
the
hardening
costs
for
this
pre-design
and
schematic
design.
And
then,
if
this
project
moved
forward
into
other
phases
again
for
those
pieces
related
to
the
hardening,
they
would
pay
up
to
for
this
whole
project
435
to
a
thousand
dollars.
Q
So,
for
example,
for
this
first
piece
that
the
board
has
already
approved
the
cost
that
the
Architects
have
estimated
for
the
hardening
piece
is
155
000
and
we
could
seek
reimbursement
for
our
75
percent
of
that,
and
then
nothing
would
again
for
those
next
phases.
It
would
only
be
if
they
were
approved
by
the
board
and
those
expenses
were
approved,
and
then
we
could
seek
reimbursement
in
pieces.
Q
The
important
part
for
this
is
one.
We
have
three
years
that
we
can
expend
These
funds.
So
there
is
time
to
move
through
this,
and
this
is
a
good
indicator.
They
never
guarantee
anything,
but
if
for,
if
we
did
ever
move
forward
with
the
building,
the
next
phase
would
be
applying
to
have
that
actually
hardening
piece
of
the
building
to
be
paid
for
with
Grant
funds.
So
it's
a
good
sign.
If
they've
approved
this
kind
of
money
for
the
design
piece
of
that.
K
Comment,
yeah
I
was
just
going
to
ask
so
the
this
would
be
a
the
911
pardon
building.
Q
The
part
of
this
feasibility
study
would
be
proposing
where
I
have
Matt
McDougall
who's
from
the
project
manager
on
this
facilities
is
here.
So
this
is
just
this
piece
is
what
the
design
to
help
give
an
estimate
of
what
the
cost
would
be,
what
size
of
the
building
would
be
and
part
of
that
determination
would
be
okay.
What
would
be
an
appropriate
place
for
that?
Okay,.
Q
B
B
R
R
It's
busy!
It's
crowded.
It's
full
so
I'm
here
this
morning
to
request
your
approval
to
eliminate
a
few
ptne
positions
for
my
roster
to
create
one
full-time
animal
shelter
attendant
position.
Now
those
staff
members
are
the
people
you
see
when
the
public
first
enters
the
shelter.
Their
duties
include:
answering
phones,
waiting
on
customers,
helping
with
adoptions
and
owner,
give
UPS
scheduling,
visits,
moving
animals
cleaning
when
necessary,
working
with
the
medical
staff
and
a
myriad
of
other
tasks
over
the
past
several
years,
their
workload
has
increased,
necessitating
the
need
for
an
additional
full-time
staff
member.
R
Vacant,
part-time
positions
and
they're,
not
a
thousand
hours
as
a
normal
part-time
position,
is
they're
they're.
Just
fractions
of
this.
Some
of
them
are
250
hours.
I.
Think
a
couple
of
them
were
a
little
bit
more
I
think
there
was
one
or
maybe
two
out
of
the
seven
that
were
a
thousand
hours,
but
by
eliminating
these
vacant
spots
and
creating
one
full-time
spot,
it's
going
to
go
a
long
way
toward
making
our
operation
more
efficient.
B
R
B
R
F
It's
good
afternoon,
it's
just
turned
good
afternoon.
I
was
going
to
say
good
morning
nice
to
see
everyone.
Yes,
so
I
also
have
Jerry
rabar
with
me
here
today,
who
is
really
overseeing
this
grant.
F
What
does
it
really
mean
to
be
a
backbone
and
so
really
what
we're
just
we're
here
to
facilitate
the
Staffing
and
to
try
to
get
that
Council
set
up
and
support
that
so
be
due
to
that?
We
are
looking
to
create
one
new
position
as
part
of
this
grant,
a
coordinator
that
will
work
with
Carrie
and
her
team
and
the
community
to
create
the
council.
Keep
it
going.
The
funding
amount
is
about,
300
is
300.
F
C
B
K
The
model
of
sub-awardes
participating
in
the
council
is
that
something
that's
part
of
the
state
program
or
is
that
something
we're
doing?
That's
unique.
M
They
really
wanted
a
bulk
of
the
the
money
to
go
out
into
the
community
and
to
Community
Partners,
so
different.
The
other
Regional
councils
are
kind
of
implementing
it
in
different
ways,
but
most
of
the
agencies
that
were
awarded
this
are
doing
some
sub
Awards
subcontracts.
Getting
that
money
out
in
the
community
and
Community
Partners.
K
Okay,
how
do
we
make
sure
that
the
folks
that
you're
listing
here,
how
do
we
make
sure
the
people
that
are
participating
or
what
have
you
put
into
place
to
make
sure
that
it's
kind
of
not
just
the
executive
director
or
something
showing
up
for
coffee
hour
meeting?
So
the
people
actually
part
of
the
council
that
are
getting
the
compensation
or
the
ones
on
the
ground
are
impacted.
M
More
like
agency
organizational
staff
and
we're
going
to
be
trying
to
develop
some
new
Partnerships
there
with
maybe
more
like
Grassroots
Community
level
people.
But
then
there
are
also
going
to
be
we're
required
to
have
representation
directly
from
community
members
and
then
that
they
will
be
compensated
for
their
time
too.
And
we
will
use
our
partners
to
try
to
help
identify
community
members
that
want
to
participate
in
this
project.
H
H
Because
they're
in
the
process
of
formulating
this
and
I
do
see
a
couple
Community
groups
that
I
am
aware
of,
may
I
ask
chair
that
once
they
have
everything
established,
can
they
come
back
to
us
to
review?
What's
the
formulation
of
this
group
so
that
we
can
have
a
clear
understanding
of
all
the
partners,
that's
at
the
table
with
this,
this
organizational
Grant
so.
H
Yeah,
just
when
they
get
it
and
I
think
that'll
help
my
colleague
Cavell
to
kind
of
get
a
clear
understanding.
So
we
kind
of
know
all
the
partners.
That's
in
this
just
to
make
sure
that
all
the
groups
that
they
have
listed
here,
because
you
know
we
kind
of
big
on
this
diversity
thing
and
making
sure
we
cover
the
grounds
and
just
you
know
just
to
have
clear
understanding
and
more
transparency.
So
we
know
the
groups
that's
involved.
Please.
H
C
N
D
P
Made
it
so
I'm
from
the
52
Forum,
the
probation
supervisor
and
District
Court
coordinator
for
our
program,
and
this
is
an
acceptance
grant
for
120
000
to
continue
our
drug
cart
program.
B
A
B
Our
next
item
is
from
the
52nd
Third
District
Court
in
Rochester
Hills
a
grant
acceptance
from
the
state
administrative
office
for
the
fiscal
year,
2023
Michigan
drug
court
ramp
program
I,
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
Powell
support
from
commissioner
Covell,
and
we
have
Amy
loose
here
regarding
this
item.
Welcome.
S
I'm
really
just
going
to
touch
on
a
big
difference
that
we
have
with
our
program
this
year,
you'll
notice
that
our
award
amount
was
significantly
lower
than
it's
been
in
the
past.
This
year
we
were
awarded
13,
123
dollars
and,
historically
we're
usually
around
ninety
thousand
dollars.
The
reason
for
that
is
that
in
March
of
2022,
our
full-time
Grant,
funded
probation
officer
resigned
to
take
a
position
as
a
social
worker
in
a
school
district.
S
So
at
that
time
we
really
evaluated
our
program
to
see
where
we
were
at
with
our
participant
numbers
and
if
it
made
sense
to
have
another
full-time,
Grant
funded
probation
officer,
because
our
numbers
are
typically
smaller
than
the
other
programs.
We
average
about
20
participants,
one
of
the
factors,
the
biggest
factor
in
making
this
determination
was
consistency.
S
These
two
probation
officers
are
outstanding.
They
have
such
a
strong
passion
for
the
program
they
just
didn't
want
to
give
up
their
traditional
caseload
as
well.
So
this
not
only
benefited
the
program,
because
now
we
have
two
probation
officers
who
split
the
20
participants,
so
it's
very
manageable,
but
they're
just
they're
very
passionate
about
it.
They're
long-term
employees
they're.
You
know
they're
going
to
be
around
for
a
while
they're,
not
going
anywhere.
S
Where
we've
been
the
last
couple
years,
where
we
don't
get
awarded
enough
funds
to
cover
a
full-time
probation
officer
and
fund
the
program,
the
way
we
would
like
so
we're
kind
of
stuck
in
this
mid-year
quandary
I
know
one
year
we
got
got
a
grant
match,
which
was
wonderful,
but
we
certainly
aren't
able
to.
Nor
should
we
count
on
that
every
year.
So
this
is
a
good
way
to
stabilize
our
program.
We
are
providing
exactly
the
same
services
to
the
participants.
Those
Services
have
not
been
cut
whatsoever.
B
S
No
I
don't
think
it's
that
we
have
historically
had
a
smaller
program,
all
of
our
all
of
our
defendants
when
they
come
through
the
door.
They're
all
vetted
the
same,
the
we
have
a
clerk
that
looks
at
each
file
that
comes
in,
and
so
the
clerk
has
never
seen.
This
person
never
met
this
person.
It's
very,
very
objective
criteria.
They
flag
the
file,
if
they're
a
possible
candidate
for
our
drug
court
program,
and
then
it's
given
to
the
judge
and
then
the
prosecutor
can
talk
to
the
defense
attorney
about
it
as
well.
S
But
what
we
have
been
noticing
is
that,
with
this
recent
change
in
legislation
that
allows
defendants
to
request
a
50
reduction
of
their
probation
time,
we've
been
finding
that
a
lot
of
attorneys
have
been
advising
defendants
to
take
that
option,
because
they
theoretically
could
be
done
with
probation
in
six
months
as
opposed
to
a
two-year
intensive
program.
S
So
that
is
one
thing
that
we've
noticed.
But
again,
our
program
is
just
historically
been
smaller
and
it
it's
voluntary
for
the
participants.
We
never
Force
anyone
into
the
program.
It's
really
up
to
them.
Once
they've
been
identified
as
a
candidate.
K
How
many
Active
cases
do
the
two
remaining
probation
officers
have
between
them?
Not
of
just
drug
court
people,
but
just
in
general.
Their
caseload
is
how
many.
S
On
average,
if
you
are
you,
you
want
to
include
both
the
drug
court
program
and
non-drug
Court
yeah,
so
their
total
on
average
is
about
100
100
to
120.
K
It
does
I
hear
what
you're
saying
about
trying
to
stabilize
when
someone
leaves,
but
that
doesn't
sound
like
an
effective
long-term
plan,
because
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
why
someone
who
is
having
to
do
more
work
for
the
same
pay
and
will
then
be
expected
to
do
that
more
work
in
an
equally
good
way.
When
you
have
a
program,
that's
intensive.
That
requires
a
heavy
investment
from
the
participant
and
then
also
assumingly,
the
probation
officer,
which
is
why
there
was
an
FTE
there
in
the
first
place.
K
S
That
actually
is
a
reduced
caseload.
What
they
have
are
probation
officers
that
only
do
traditional
case
loads
have
about
150
to
160
defendants,
so
them
having
100
to
120
is
a
reduced
caseload
because
we
do
realize
those
10
drug
court
cases
do
consume
more
time,
so
on
average,
if
you
know,
if
they're
not
doing
any
of
the
drug
court
cases
they're
at
about
150
to
160
defendants.
B
S
This
actually
it
was
our
long-term
plan.
We
do
believe
it
is
sustainable
again
because
of
the
balance
we've.
You
know
essentially
lowered
their
case
load
compared
to
the
other
probation
officers
to
be
able
to
allow
them
to
devote
that
amount
of
time
to
both
their
drug
court
cases
and
their
traditional
cases.
So
if
you
know,
if
we
were
to
take
the
drug
court
cases
away,
then
their
their
traditional
case
loads
would
be
bumped
up
again
to
150
or
160.
S
sure,
so
it
does
average
out
where
it's
a
you
know
the
same
amount
of
work
throughout
the
department.
These
two
probation
officers
actually
requested
to
be
able
to
do
this
because
again
they
are
very
passionate
about
the
program.
They
just
didn't
want
to
do
only
those
cases
because
they
enjoy
the
traditional
approach
as
well,
but.
K
It's
so
understood,
but
it
sounds
like
then,
what
I
foresee
from
what
this
tells
us
and
what
you've
been
sharing
is
that
there's
20
participants
a
year
which
is
already
lower
than
other
courts,
and
so
then,
this
disincentivizes
judges
and
clerks
and
others
to
have
more
people
participate
in
this
service.
If
they're
in
need
of
it
or
would
benefit
from
it,.
B
C
K
S
Yeah
and-
and
my
honest
answer
is
you
know,
and
again,
we've
talked
about
this
extensively.
The
judges
and
I
have
met
about
the
have
met
to
talk
about
this
extensively,
and
we
do
think
this
is
the
best
way
to
give
the
support
get
the
support
to
the
participants
that
they
need.
So
we
have
not
always
been
at
20
people,
so
I
certainly
don't
want
to
say
that
this
has
been
a
a
wasted
resource.
For
years.
We
have,
over
the
past
two
to
three
years,
noticed
a
steady
decline
in
our
program.
S
You
know
we're
trying
to
be
mindful
of
the
resources
we
get
from
the
state
and
again
not
having
to
be
in
a
position
where
we
have
to
show
up
to
the
board
mid-year
and
say
we
don't
have
enough
funding,
as
have
been.
You
know
the
the
scenarios
in
the
past
that
we
don't
have
enough
funding
to
continue
this
full-time
person
in
the
grant
position,
so
we're
trying
to
be
mindful
of
that
and
allocate
all
of
our
resources
to
the
best
of
our
ability
and
I.
S
Can
you
know
certainly
tell
you
that,
because
I'm
also
the
program
coordinator
and
I
can
certainly
tell
you
that
from
what
I
have
seen,
this
is
the
most
efficient
way.
This
program
has
been
run.
I
am
actually
very
proud
of
this
I
think
that
going
forward
it
is
going
to
be
very
sustainable.
You
know
when
you
have
a
probation
officer
that
leaves
and
a
lot
of
times.
S
You
know
we
don't
have
anyone
internally
that
wanted
to
do
this
full-time,
like
I
said,
so,
we
didn't
have
the
option
to
have
existing
probation
officer
move
into
the
grant
funded
position.
So
we
pull
someone
externally
and
it's
a
lot
of
training
to
get
them
into
that
position
and
a
lot
of
times,
because
you
know
whether
it's
true
or
not,
there's
a
perception
that
Grant
funded
positions
aren't
as
stable
as
a
traditional
position.
S
So
a
lot
of
times
this
grant
funded
position
is
a
stepping
stone
for
probation
officers,
which
is
what
we
were
seeing
so
then
there's
the
turnover,
so
the
participants
then
have
to
see
a
different
probation
officer.
While
we
interview
someone
else
and
get
that
person
trained,
and
that
is
not
at
all
beneficial
for
the
participant.
So
you
know
having
these
two
committed
probation
officers
manage
their
caseloads,
manage
them
very
well.
I
think
is
actually
very
sustainable.
Going
forward.
K
Been
here,
I've
been
Crow
watching
with
judge
Nicholson's
court
and
understand
why
there
has
been
the
steady
reduction
in
drug
court
cases.
So
this
is
not
Amy's
fault.
This
is
not
the
probation
officer's
fault.
This
is
higher
up
than
that,
and
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
because
I
understand
the
systemic
problem
here
that
Amy
is
making
the
best
circumstance
of.
B
B
Five
years,
one
day
all
right
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Commissioners
see
you
in
a
year
all
right.
Our
next
item
is
from
the
52nd
first
district
court
in
Novi
a
grant
acceptance
from
the
state
court
administrative
office
for
the
fiscal
year,
2023
Michigan
drug
court
grant
program
I,
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
mcgilvery
support
from
commissioner
Hoffman,
and
we
have
Alexander
Alexandra
black
here
talk
about
this.
T
Welcome
morning,
can
you
guys?
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
okay,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
today.
So
we
are.
We
have
another
Grant.
This
is
a
continuation
of
the
grant.
We've
had
in
place
for
a
long
time.
We're
really
excited
because
we
received
101
000
this
year
to
cover
the
cost
of
our
full-time
probation
officer
who
does
supervise
the
defendants
we
do
have
here.
Our
sobriety
Court
program,
which
is
not
Grant
funded.
T
T
We
have
just
a
little
bit
of
data
because
I'm
kind
of
proud
of
it
I
want
to
share
this
in
our
state
court
administrator's
office
tracks
our
success
rate
and
our
recidivism
rate,
which
is
recidivism
looking
at
convictions
like
convictions,
alcohol
and
drug
related
convictions,
three
years
out
compared
to
other
local
match
pairs.
So
that's
other
people
from
the
area
that
they
matched
them
with
and
didn't
go
into
drug
court.
Our
recidivism
rate
is
eight
percent
versus
the
local
matched
pairs
of
31.
T
So
if
they
complete
our
program
and
graduate
the
the
chances
of
the
recidivism
well,
the
recidivism
rate
is
eight
percent
three
years
out
post
graduation.
So
we're
really
proud
of
that,
because
a
lot
of
our
drug
court
participants
are
highly
addicted.
Opiate
users,
so
that's
a
pretty
big
deal
and
then
Statewide
compared
to
Statewide
numbers
were
at
six
percent
recidivism
if
compared
to
the
Statewide
recidivism
rate
of
19
percent.
T
So
those
are
those
are
big
achievements
for
us.
We're
continuing!
You
know
fight
the
good
s
to
cover
the
full
cost
of
the
probation
officer,
whereas
last
year
and
the
year
before,
they
didn't
give
us
quite
enough
to
cover
it
and
we
had
to
come
back.
We
had
to
ask
for
matched
funds
from
our
from
our
regular
budget
and
we
don't
have
to
do
that
this
year.
So
we're
very
excited.
F
B
Is
also
from
the
52nd
first
district
court
in
Novi
a
grant
acceptance
from
the
state
court
administrative
office
for
the
fiscal
year,
2023
Michigan
mental
health
court
grant
program
I
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
Hoffman
support
from
commissioner
mcgilvery
and
Alexander
here.
Alexandria
you're
right
here
again.
T
T
So
many
things
to
talk
about
today,
34
I'm,
sorry,
31
543..
We
were
hoping
it
would
be
more,
but
they
decided
that
because
we
weren't
able
to
use,
but
we
used
all
our
funds
last
year,
but
we
weren't
able
to
go
over
that
and
demonstrate
that
to
them,
because
we
couldn't
hire
a
liaison,
a
mental
health
liaison
without
having
money
to
do
so
so
we've
we've
had
a
little
I
had
a
little
tip
with
state
core
Minister's
office.
T
Over
this
and
said
you
know,
if
we
don't
have
the
money,
people
are
a
little
hesitant
to
take
a
job
when
there's
no
money
to
pay
for
it.
But
they've
assured
us
that
if,
when
we
come
back
in
front
of
them
that
we
can
after
the
first
quarter,
we
can
ask
for
a
reallocation.
So
what
we
have
done
is
we
finally
hired
a
mental
health
liaison
through
Community,
Mental
Health,
and
that
person
like
one
of
the
really
important
things
about
this
person
is
normally.
T
If
you
put
somebody
in
the
program-
and
you
want
to
get
them
evaluated
and
get
a
diagnosis,
it
would
take
60
days
just
to
even
get
the
evaluation
done
and
then,
of
course,
you're
going
to
wait
for
the
report
to
come
out
in
the
diagnosis
so
with
this
liaison
being
in
place
and
being
a
part
of
our
program
down
to
a
week.
So
that's
the
most
important
thing
with
a
lot
of
these
cases
is
to
get
them
in
as
soon
as
possible.
T
T
We
would
take
anyone
into
our
program
that
qualifies
so
right
now
we
have
18
I'm.
Sorry,
we
have
20
participants,
our
Max
is
25.
We
do
think
we
will
max
out
this
year.
We're
really
excited
because
we're
hoping
to
have
our
first
graduation
in
June
and
we'd
like
to
have
it
there
actually
at
the
Board
of
Commissioners
Auditorium,
to
invite
everyone
and
have
all
the
52nd
judges
come,
and
anybody
who's
interested
and
anybody
who's
been
to
a
graduation.
I
know,
commissioner
Cabell
has,
and
commissioner
Markham
they're,
really
moving
and
really
interesting
to
see.
T
B
B
T
Okay-
and
it's
me
again
and
joining
me-
is
Mr
Langham.
He
is
he's
an
attorney
that
has
been
actually
here
for
doing
a
lot
of
midc
work
at
our
court.
So
I
think
you
have
your
his
resume,
which
is
extremely
impressive
and
one
of
the
things
that
really
Drew
us
to
him.
Besides
the
great
work
that
he
does
representing
people
here,
he
has
he's
a
law
professor,
he
was
a
Michigan
State
Police
Trooper
he's
got
a
good
balance,
which
is
what
we're
looking
for.
The
reason
we
need.
T
Another
magistrate
is
because
the
administrates
that
we
hire-
none
of
them
are
retired,
so
this
is
a
second
job
for
them
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
of
our
hours
covered
here
during
the
week
and
on
top
of
that,
Mr
Langham
is
going
to
be
joining
our
mental
I'm.
T
Sorry,
a
weekend,
arraignment
program
which
we've
discussed
before
we
need
really
good,
well-balanced,
well,
well,
versed
in
the
law,
type
of
magistrates
and
we've
chosen
to
have
people
who
are
actively
practicing
so
that
they're
really
up
on
the
changes
in
the
law
which
are
which
continue,
obviously
all
the
time.
But
right
now
this
this
the
temperature
of
things
right
now
things
have
continuously
changed
and
he
is
very
well
versed.
Like
I
said
you
can
see
from
his
resume
it's
very
impressive
and
we're
really
excited
that
he
would
choose
to
be
a
part-time
magistrate
here.
T
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
very
regular
hours
to
offer
him
right
now,
except
for
then
the
weekends,
and
he
would
like
to
do
that
in
lieu
of
being
our
midc
attorney,
even
though
he
would
really
make
more
money
doing
that.
But
I
think
he's
really
interested
in
the
service
to
the
community.
B
U
Actually
I
was
full-time
State
Police
I
was
a
detective
Lieutenant
at
the
time.
I
was
in
Narcotics
and
a
bunch
of
other
divisions,
but
no
I
went
to
law
school
every
Saturday
and
Sunday
for
three
years
straight
until
I
graduated.
K
C
B
You
all
right.
Our
last
item
is
from
public
services,
Children's
Village,
a
resolution
resolution
supporting
available
additional
wage
increase
for
qualified
position,
classifications
from
the
Michigan
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services,
so
I
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
Cavell
support
from
who
commissioner
Powell
and
Barb
Henke
is
here
to
speak
to
this
item
and
you've
been
here
with
us
before
the
meeting
started.
So
thank
you
for
staying.
Yes,.
I
Thank
you.
It's
always
it's
always
interesting
to
hear
about
what's
going
on
in
the
other
departments.
So
thank
you
for
indulging
me
and
adding
me
to
the
agenda.
My
name
is
Barb
hinke
I'm,
the
director
of
Public,
Services
and
I,
know
it's
late,
but
a
film
tells
me
just
a
minute
just
some
background
of
why
this
is
so
time
sensitive.
I
So
back
in
September
of
2021,
the
legislature
approved
a
supplemental
Appropriations
bill
which
included
a
number
of
increases
for
certain
direct
care
workers,
so
direct
care
workers
and
adult
foster
care
in
medical
nursing
homes,
medical
care
facilities
and
child
caring
institutions.
I
Unfortunately,
when
that
correspondence
went
out
back
in
December
individuals
from
Children's
Village
were
told
that
we
would
not
qualify
for
that
reimbursement
because
we
were
not
a
private
Child,
Care
Institution,
so
fast
forward
to
September
of
this
year.
September
6th
correspondence
came
through
from
the
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services
about
how
agencies
could
apply
for
this
reimbursement.
I
That's
when
it
came
to
my
attention,
I
felt
after
pulling
the
the
bill
and
looking
at
all
the
legislation
that
we
would
indeed
be
eligible,
and
so
that
began
the
Trek
of
a
month-long
back
and
forth
with
the
state
trying
to
determine
if
we
were
indeed
eligible
for
this
money,
it
was
deemed
that
we
are
eligible
for
the
money.
I
So
this
is
a
two
dollar
increase
for
hours
worked
for
direct
care
workers
at
child
caring
institutions,
unfortunately
not
all
of
our
employees-
will
be
receiving
it
because
of
the
auditing
procedures
that
we
have
to
go
through
and
and
what's
termed,
as
a
direct
care
worker.
However,
in
the
resolution
you'll
see
it's
our
youth
specialist,
one,
youth,
specialist,
two
youth
specialist
supervisors
and
the
Children's
Village
program
supervisors.
I
So
we
are
still
in
the
process
of
working
with
payroll
and
fiscal
Services.
They've
done
a
phenomenal
job
of
pulling
everyone.
That's
eligible,
detecting
the
hours
that
they
can't
be
paid
for,
which
would
be
vacation
time
conference,
leave
those
types
of
things
and
and
trying
to
to
get
this
together.
So
we
can
get
these
checks
out
to
to
individuals.
I
So,
basically
we're
asking
for
authorization
to
do
that
and
then
to
apply
for
the
reimbursement
we
have
to
have
all
the
recent
reimbursement
into
the
state
prior
to
the
end
of
the
year
and
to
apply
for
the
reimbursement
we
have
to
pay
the
people
first.
So
that's
why
this
has
become
so
time
sensitive
and
we're
trying
to
get
this
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
It's
only
for
fiscal
year,
22
hours
worked
during
that.
C
I
Employees
at
Children's
Village
have
put
up
with
a
lot
it's
obviously
a
24
7
working
holidays
working
through
you
know,
on
weekends,
working
through
all
the
licensing
requirements
that
are
coming
down
from
from
this
state
being
mandated
during
covid.
So
yes,
this
is,
is
something
that
we
really
would
like
to
be
able
to
do
for
those
employees.
